Birches Restaurant is nestled on top of picturesque Mount Mee. This wonderful upmarket a la carte licensed restaurant enjoys spectacular views of the surrounding rural countryside and out to the Redcliffe Peninsula, Moreton Bay, Moreton Island and beyond. Whatever the season, day or night, you will enjoy the ambience this unique Queenslander provides. The restaurant provides a large open area featuring a high raked timber ceiling, solid brushbox timber floors and the centre piece being a magnificent fireplace. Wander through open glass french doors to large verandahs where a relaxed cafe style awaits you. The environment that greets you is one of harmony between an abundance of wildlife and the countryside. You are welcome to come and enjoy just a coffee, but why not stay for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner, soaking up the atmosphere and warm hospitality.
